Should actually be the best ratings in years as everyone tunes in to see what a disaster the show is for the first time ever without a host since the beginning.

The Academy needs to be concerned about certain members and cinephiles boycotting because they are excluding a bunch of categories from the telecast which goes against Oscar tradition over a span of decades.

Make up artists, composers, sound mixers, cinematographers, and etc all deserve to have their moments on stage televised just like the actors. Oscars need to be inclusive and care about the craft of cinema..not engage in cheap ploys for ratings. The ratings are not going to improve by engaging in these bad changes.

Actually it will be the 5th time in history. All other four times consider the worst Oscars in history with the 1989 one considered a National Embarrassment.
